DAILY PROGRAM
Wednesday 12/02: Pre-day at DarMar
If you arrive early, join us for a warm-up at DarMar Hostel & Co-working. The cozy outdoor area is perfect for meeting new faces, stretching your legs after the flight, hitting the dancefloor, and enjoying a cold drink.
This is the start of our adventure—immerse yourself in the Zanzibar vibe and let it all sink in.
Location: DarMar Hostel & Co-working
Thursday 13/02: Opening Night at Why?Not
We kick off the 2025 Gathering at Why?Not Club, now in its third season and recognized in the underground scene.
With a top-notch sound system, wooden floors perfect for barefoot dancing, and large windows overlooking the ocean, this venue has an unmatched atmosphere. High tide brings waves splashing against the windows, and as the sun rises, rays filter through the curtains—pure magic.
Indoor music starts at 10 PM. Before that, meet us outside to exchange wristbands.
Location: Why?Not Club
Friday 14/02: Day & Night at Tiki Beach
After the opening night, we meet at Tiki Beach, an exclusive resort for Zanzibar Gathering guests. Relax by the pool, soak up the sun (don't forget sunscreen!), and prepare for the night's party at the same location
Location: Tiki Beach Resort
Saturday 15/02: Rest Day
Recharge and get ready for the Secret Island adventure. For those not joining the island expedition, alternative activities will be announced.
Sunday 16/02: Secret Island
We will meet in the morning and take a bus to the port, from where boats will take us to a little secret island. The island used to have a restaurant, which we will use for the bar and dancefloor, and it overlooks a sandy beach.
Drinks and food on the island will be taken care of. We will return back to shore before the sun goes down.
Monday 17/02: Masai Mara Villa
Masai Mara Villa offers breathtaking views of the turquoise sea, a pool, and a great dancefloor. Enjoy music and a relaxed vibe with plenty of space to unwind.
Location: Masai Mara Villa
Tuesday 18/02: Rest day
Take the day to relax and prepare for the sandbank party.
Wednesday 19/02: Sandbank Party
The Sandbank Party is a highlight of the Gathering. We'll start with a bus ride to the port, followed by boats to a sandbank—a small sandy island that changes size with the tide. At the highest tide, the island disappears entirely. Don't worry, on this date the island will remain above water, though it will become noticeably smaller, creating a surreal experience.
Tents will be set up for shade, and food and drinks are included. Don't forget to bring sunscreen and reapply it regularly. We'll return to shore before nightfall.
Bus pickup location: In Paje
Thursday 20/02: Closing Night at Why?Not
We return to Why?Not Club for the final event, wrapping up another unforgettable Gathering.
